Suffren class frigate

The "Suffren" type anti-air frigates are first-rank destroyers of the French Navy, designed to protect a fleet against air threats, surface ships, submarines, and, to a lesser extent, provide fire power against land objectives. They were the first French ships to be built specifically as guided missile frigates.

The two ships of the class are
* D602 "Suffren" (decommissioned in 2001)
* D603 "Duquesne"

The "Duquesne" is due to be decommissioned in 2007.
